Topic: TP-Link TL-WR842ND Support / Flashing

Hallo,

I want to try the TL-MR3420 firmware(openwrt-ar71xx-tl-mr3420-v1-squashfs-factory.bin) on my TL-WR842ND as the hardware is so to say the same. But I always run into the problem that the firmware is not accepted because of the file name even if I name it like the original firmware (wr842ndv1_en_3_12_15_up(110830).bin) or increase version and date. Error message is: Error code: 18005 Upgrade unsuccessfully because the version of the upgraded file was incorrect. Please check the file name.

The original firmware is accepted. So it seems like not only the filename is checked?!Has anybody already flashed this router or has any suggestion on how to deal with this Problem?Thanks in advance.
